Eventually, all of these age-related changes leave the face and neck looking saggy, gaunt, and tired. At this point, most of us would give anything to have some of that "baby-fat" back again – right?

NOTE: I'm taking a 5 week face exercise challenge. While I've been doing facial exercises since 1998, I never followed a steady program or schedule. I've sent photos of my concerns (especially the lower face/neck) to Carolyn creator of CFF. She gave me a bonus exercises to add to the standard workout which should bring about noticeable results in about 5 weeks. We'll see! I'll post my results here.

So, while you may look good now, in the long run, you’ve done nothing to help prevent facial aging.

Plus, in my opinion, fillers can make some faces look unnatural and bloated. That's certainly not the look I want.

What about a good face cream

There is no question that peptides, retinols, and weekly exfoliation facials (increased cell turnover) are truly one of the best anti-aging products for beautiful skin. And some skincare ingredients - like hyaluronic acid - can provide a temporary fullness due to increased moisture.

But, that’s as far as they go. Don’t count on your favorite cream to build, lift and firm underlying muscles.

Only a proper facial toning system that is designed to stimulate the skin, muscles, and bone can actually help slow facial aging and ensure that you’ll continue to look as young as possible, but natural.

If done right, face tightening can help provide a smooth, firm face, toned and defined cheeks and an elegant smooth neckwithout unnatural looking side effects side or draining your bank account.

The beauty of face exercise programs (at the least the good ones) is you pay once for the system and have a lifetime of anti-aging support.

There are several good facial exercise programs available to choose from. I tried many of them, but finally settle on the CFF System. For me, it was the easiest and fastest program to stick with.

In 2008, I paid less than $40.00 for the CFF program and have NOT spent a penny more since then.

But I have received numerous free updates, improved exercise techniques, and even had special workouts tailored to my personal needs.

If you've tried facial toning systems before and didn't like them, don’t give up. It took me years to find one that I’m comfortable with. Once you come across one you like, you’ll actually enjoy facial workout and find very relaxing.

You’ll be especially happy and motivated once you start to see results too!
